Skipping iterations in for loops

I've seen this before, but I can't remember how to do it.

For i = 1 to 3
'code
Next

How do I skip, for instance, iteration 2?

Edit: Using i as a variable in the code as well as a counter, which is why this matters.

It's weird that didn't occur to me.

What if I only wanted to skip a single iteration?

"For i = 1 to 5", where "4" is skipped.

Is that possible without "If i = 4 then goto label" with the "label:" at the Next statement?

Code:
For i = 1 to 5
If i <> 4 Then
'your code here
End If
Next i

You don't need the Goto.
Code:
For I = 1 To 10
   If I<>4 Then
      ' Do stuff
      Debug.Print I
 
   End If
Next I
If there's more than 1 value you want to skip then you could expand the If or perhaps use Select case.

Though, it might be worth considering some other type of loop.

Thanks njmack.

Norie, this is pure curiosity not a problem I'm tackling anymore, but do you have any suggestions on the other kinds of loops?

I know Do/Loop, For/Next, using labels and goto, and calling external subs or functions for use in expressions.
